Yes. Ultra Gravitron’s “as if you had played” text is intended to trigger all card effects like Fission Bloom’s “The next time you play a card this turn.”Source: Rulebook

Outstanding Issues
-
Arcana Advises: A card that will allow you to play a single creature from your hand such as Helper Bot, or Subject Kirby will successfully play a Gigantic creature if both halves of the Gigantic creature are within your hand. However, Exhume's ability is targeting a single card in the discard pile and would therefore fail.

Related Cards
Ultra Gravitron always appears in a deck with:
A gigantic creature counts as 2 cards while out of play, but as a single creature card while in play. Playing a gigantic creature only counts as playing 1 card, and therefore it is allowed on the first turn. After a gigantic creature leaves play, the 2 halves are treated as separate cards again.
Both halves of a gigantic creature have the same title, house, and card type. Otherwise, each half has the attributes printed on it: the top half has bonus icons, while the bottom half has power, armor, and the text box (including traits).
If a card instructing the active player to play or put into play a creature chooses one half of a gigantic creature, that effect will fail.
